UNSPSC 50363805: Canned or jarred red huckleberries

The variety of huckleberries known as red huckleberries that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50363805 Canned or jarred red huckleberries is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little relevant purchasing activity — the two most recent solicitations involve canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections, ITB, July 31, 2026) and dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin Independent School District, RFP, July 16, 2026), neither of which matches the code's stated scope. State and local government buyers posting under this code are primarily school districts and state corrections and health agencies procuring food and consumables for institutional meal services and nutrition programs. The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools), and special-purpose food service operations. Geographic activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois, with school nutrition procurement concentrated in the Southeast and school-year cycles driving most solicitation timing.

The code's stated commodity — canned or jarred red huckleberries — does not appear in any of the representative recent opportunities. Instead, buyers under this code are acquiring a broader range of canned and processed fruit products, fresh produce, and food service supplies for institutional feeding. The Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, $21.84 historical per-case pricing, five truckloads to Salem) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items including canned goods, $4.5 million maximum potential value over three years) are more representative of what is actually being bought. School nutrition programs dominate the activity: Fairfax County Public Schools (Master Grocery K-12 for 52 school locations, IFB, April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (grocery items and net-off-invoice products, April 29, 2026), and multiple Georgia school districts (fresh produce, dried fruit, and staple foods). Bidders must navigate firm-fixed pricing requirements, Buy American provisions in school nutrition contracts, delivery schedules (typically weekly to multiple school sites), liability insurance thresholds ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence), and state-specific preferences where applicable (Oregon applies 5% preferences for in-state goods and suppliers). The code's mismatch with recent solicitation content suggests either classifier error or that canned red huckleberries are rarely purchased by state and local government, making pursuit of opportunities under this code unlikely to yield relevant leads.
